tl;dr - I put a PKGBUILD on the AUR for the Nano Vanity tool.

I have been searching for a tool to generate a vanity address for a while, and all I could find were online generators with pretty poor performance for such a computationally demanding task. Finally, I found a blog post by u/Joohansson from almost five years ago that describes the exact tool I wanted!

I use Arch Linux, and I enjoy throwing together build scripts if I can’t find one already available, so I thought I would share the one I wrote for the Nano Vanity tool from the blog post. I tried it out, and it still works today! I was able to use my GTX 3070 to generate an 8-character prefix (which the tool estimated would take 64 BILLION attempts to find), and it found one in under an hour since the GPU can generate almost 20 MILLION addresses per second. For comparison, the online tool I was using barely scratched 20,000 per second.

The link to the AUR package is at the top, and the tool itself can be found here:

Cheers!

EDIT to add: It should go without saying, but for security, run this and similar tools OFFLINE!
